This touches on something I've thought about for years, which is what I refer to as "synesthetic computing" for lack of a better term. It's the idea that as humans, we are innately endowed with these incredible abilities that no computer can possibly match, like our ability to understand social situations and hierarchies, and our ability to process and understand complex emotions. We could potentially unlock whole new models of computation by leveraging them. Imagine a data visualization environment where instead of just looking at rows of spreadsheet data, each data point had a "personality", and was allowed to form "social groups" autonomously with other data points. Those social groups could then be analyzed in the same way we do with actual human social interactions. Their reasons for grouping could be looked at emotionally and understood through intuition. And those intuitions could even be fed into machine learning models as a heuristic for hyperparameter optimization.
